Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Christmas Day (Wednesday). ....Synopsis... A mid-level trough will weaken as it moves from East Texas to the Southeast on Wednesday. Some remnant thunderstorms may persist early in the period, but should weaken by the afternoon as mid-level heights rise and forcing weakens. A second, stronger mid-level trough will advance across the Southwest and become a closed mid-level low across the northeastern New Mexico vicinity by the end of the period. Surface moisture will remain across far southeast Texas on Wednesday night, but a strengthening low-level jet ahead of the mid-level trough may result in some moistening in the 1 to 3 km layer and some weak elevated instability by the end of the period across West Texas into the Texas Panhandle. This combined with forcing for ascent, may result in a few thunderstorms near 12Z Thursday. No severe storms are anticipated due to the weak instability. In addition, a mid-level shortwave trough will move onto the Oregon coast after 06Z Thu. Forecast soundings ahead of the associated surface front show mostly moist-adiabatic thermal profiles, but some weak instability may be present and result in a few thunderstorms. ...Bentley.. 12/23/2024 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
